1. How many battens will be there for a Drawing board?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
• Answer: b
• Explanation:
Generally drawing board has dimensions of
 B0 board :- 1500 x 1000x 25 mm (for A0 drawing sheet)
 B1 board :- 1000 x 700x 25 mm (for A1 drawing sheet)
 B2 board :- 700 x 500x 15 mm (for A2 drawing sheet)
 B3 board :- 500 x 350x 15 mm (for A3 drawing sheet)
, and made of well-seasoned soft wood, so there would be no
bending while life increases. And also if size of drawing board
increases widely then the board will be fabricated with another 1 or 2
batten
2. The part that doesn’t belong to T-square is
__________
a) Working edge
b) Blade
c) Stock
d) Ebony
• Answer: d
• Explanation:
Working edge and Stock are parts of T- square
those which make 90 degrees with each other, the
blade is the long bar that exists in T-Square. Ebony
is part of Drawing board in which T-square is fitted
to draw lines.
3. The angle which we can’t make using a single Set-
square is ________
a) 45o
b) 60o
c) 30o
d) 75o
• Answer: d
• Explanation:
45o can be drawn using 45o Set-square, and 30o,
60o can be drawn using 30o– 60o Set-square, but to
draw 75o degrees we need both Set-squares. That is
only if we keep 30o of set-square adjacent with
45o set-square we can get 75o. And also multiple
angles can be achieved using protractor.
4. The angle which we can’t make using both the Set-
squares is _____________
a) 15o
b) 105o
c) 165o
d) 125o
• Answer: d
• Explanation:
15o can be made by keeping 45o and 30o adjacent
to each other on the line perpendicular to the line
for which 15ois made. Likewise for 105o and
165o also if we just change the alignment with the
required line it possible. But to make 125o there is
no such combination available for Set-squares.
5. Small bow compass can draw circles less than _____
mm radius.
a) 25mm
b) 30mm
c) 35mm
d) 40mm

• Answer: a
• Explanation:
A normal Small bow compass is capable of drawing
circles less than the 25mm radius. This is because of the
arrangement of a screw in between the legs of the
compass. But any other normal compass can’t give us
perfect circles whose radius is less than 25mm.
6. Which is not the use of divider?
a) To divide curved or straight lines into the desired
number of equal parts
b) To draw circles
c) To transfer dimensions from one part of the
drawing to another part
d) To set-off given distances from the scale to the
drawing
• Answer: b
• Explanation: Divider can be used for those purposes
as mentioned in options. But we cannot use divider
as a compass and even if we want the compass to
be used as divider we can change the pencil part
with needle attachment.
7. The cardboard scales are available in a set of
_______ scales.
a) six
b) ten
c) eight
d) twelve
• Answer: c
• Explanation:
The cardboard scales are available in a set of eight
scales. They are designated from M1 to M8 which
has scale of 1:1, 1:2.5, 1:10, 1:50, 1:200, 1:300,
1:400, and 1:1000. These are standard scales used.
8. _________ is used to draw curves which are not
circular.
a) Compass
b) Protractor
c) French curves
d) Pro circle
• Answer: c

• Explanation:

French curves are used for drawing curves which can’t

be drawn with a compass. A faint freehand curve is first
drawn through the known points. Longest possible
curves exactly coinciding with the freehand curve are
then found out from the French curve. Finally, neat
continues curve is drawn with the aid of French curve.
9. The areas of the two subsequent sizes of drawing sheet are in the
ratio ____
a) 1:5
b) 1:4
c) 1:2
d) 1:10
• Answer: c
• Explanation:
10. The sizes from A0 to A5 increases.
a) True
b) False
• Answer: b
• Explanation: The sizes from A0 to A5 decreases, A5
(148 mm x 210 mm), A4 (210 mm x 297 mm), A3
(297 mm x 420 mm), etc. A successive format size is
obtained by doubling along the width or halving
along the length.
11. The increase in hardness is shown by the value of
the figure put in front of the letter H, 2H, 3H, and
4H etc.
a) True
b) False
• Answer: a
• Explanation:
Letters HB denote the medium grade where the
increase in hardness is shown by the value of the
figure put in front of the letter H, viz. 2H, 3H, and
4H etc. Similarly, the grade becomes softer
according to the letter B, 2B, 3B and 4B etc.
12. What is the next size of 210 mm x 297 mm in
drawing papers?
a) 148 mm x 210 mm
b) 297 mm x 420 mm
c) 420 mm x 594 mm
d) 105 mm x 148 mm
• Answer: b
• Explanation: 210 mm x 297 mm is A4 size, next one
is A3 (297 mm x 420 mm), which came doubling
along the width. And the next size is obtained by
doubling the width i.e. A2 (420 mm x 594mm) and
so on.
13. The Grade becomes ______ according to the
figure placed in front of the letter B, 2B, 3B, 4B etc.
a) harder
b) lighter
c) darker
d) softer
• Answer: d
• Explanation: The increase in hardness is shown by
the value of the figure put in front of the letter H,
2H, 3H, and 4H etc. Similarly, the grade becomes
softer according to the figure placed in front of the
letter B, 2B, 3B, and 4B etc.
